Do you have any other photographs of the Custer Trail Ranch from 1890 to 1903 or any of Medora ND in the late 1800s or early 1900s? If so, is it possible for me to review them on line?
Also, do you have any written material on the Custer Trail Ranch?

Hello Robert,
Yes, we do have some more images from the Custer Trail Ranch on here, but they are not from the time periods you are looking for. You can see anything we have by using the searchbar at the top of the page and typing in Custer Trail Ranch. I can see if we have more information on the ranch if you will email us, info@dickinsonmuseumcenter.com
Thank you.

Thank you for sharing all this information. My grandma is the daughter of Walter Christensen (my great grandfather) who owned the Custer Trail Ranch from 1940 to 1964. I never met my great grandfather but my grandma grew up on the ranch and it's very interesting to see all the history from when she was younger.
